The transmission, transfer case, fuel tank, and exhaust all sit in areas that take abuse on difficult trails, and factory protection often creates edges and drop points that can hang up on obstacles. With the engine mount changes on the 2021-2022 3.6L platform, underbody packaging changed as well, which is why this skid system was developed specifically for these model years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"665\" data-end=\"1132\"\u003eThe Motobilt MB1099-42 Skid Plate System was designed to solve that with a true flush belly approach built specifically for the 2021-2022 Jeep JLU 3.6L. This 4 piece skid system uses keyed overlapping panels and recessed hardware to create a smooth underside with no exposed bolt heads or lips to catch on rocks. The boat side design improves how the Jeep transitions across obstacles while the integrated crossmember adds strength and rigidity to the chassis layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1134\" data-end=\"1514\"\u003eDesigned from a builder’s perspective, this is more than armor. It is part of the underbody structure. Heavy 3\/16 inch steel construction protects critical components while maintaining serviceability with a dedicated oil pan access panel and removable skid sections. Notched ends allow a vehicle lift to still be used for repairs, something often overlooked in skid system design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1516\" data-end=\"1689\"\u003eFor builders running the updated JLU platform, this system delivers underbody protection, smooth belly clearance, and serviceability for serious trail use and rock crawling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"9svvkf\" data-start=\"1691\" data-end=\"1717\"\u003eImportant Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1718\" data-end=\"2123\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1otv4m\" data-start=\"1718\" data-end=\"1779\"\u003eDesigned for 2021-2022 Jeep Wrangler JLU 4 Door with 3.6L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1sk1se5\" data-start=\"1780\" data-end=\"1849\"\u003eSpecifically designed around 2021-2022 engine mount configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1w68jis\" data-start=\"1850\" data-end=\"1945\"\u003eDoes not fit earlier JL 3.6L models.
